Volume 1 Chapter 4 (1/2)

「I think that you also noticed it, but it’s immensely difficult to have several strong demons using the methods I taught thus far.」

I nod.

After all, the fact that Demon King medals can be used only once a month is a bottleneck.

「But, the method is sufficiently prepared. Now then, let’s summon the Demon King’s book.」

「【Spell]」

In response to my words, a thick book made of parchment appeared on top of my hands.

「Turn the page while thinking about medals.」

Upon doing what she says, a page about medals came in sight.

「Surely, the three medals,【Beast],【Flame], and【Creation], are written there.」

I check the page.

But……

「March, it’s different. What’s written on the page are【Beast],【Flame]and【Human].」

「Eh? No way!」

March looks at my page.

「I see, so that’s the reason. Originally, we Demon Kings can obtain only the medals we used for synthesis by exchanging them with DP.」

「That’s good, and it sounds simple. It’s something like you can use the medal as much as you want, isn’t it?」

The removal of the once a month condition saves me a lot of trouble.

It states that the exchange rate with DP is 500pt.

If you take into consideration that you use at least two medals, you can create a demon with 1000pt.

「Well, it’s impossible to be the same as the real thing. An original medal is a medal that a Demon King creates. An Imitation Medal is a medal exchanged with DP but, its rank drops by one compared to the original.」

「Is anything wrong if the Rank drops?」

I think that it’s probably related to the Rank of the demon that is born, but I’ll confirm it just in case

「I wonder why was the imitation of【Human]recorded on it and not【Creation], but let’s talk about that first.」

March coughed and started her explanation.

「For instance, my【Beast]is A Rank, however, an imitation drops to B Rank. A demon’s Rank has a direct connection to the Medal’s Rank. For example: If both of the medals used are A Rank, then there is a 2/3 probability that the demon will be A Rank and a 1/3 probability that it will be B Rank. If one medal is A Rank and the other is B Rank, then there is a 2/3 probability that the demon will be B Rank and a 1/3 probability that it will be A Rank.」

So it’s like that after all, huh?

There is a huge disadvantage.

The S Rank Tenko might not have been made using an imitation medal. At most, an A Rank Demon.

「By the way, although you can repeatedly use an Imitation in Synthesis, the medal cannot be exchanged back to DP. For this reason, we Demon Kings desperately want other Demon Kings’ medal, conversely, why we don’t want to give our Original Medals to another person. Anyhow, the Rank falls, but you can use the medal as much as you want. I don’t exchange them; I don’t make Original Medals used as materials unless in extreme circumstances either. I hand over imitations. Even though we get an imitation, we are still thankful. Because it’s possible to use those that aren’t in stock in synthesis.」

Exactly.

It might be that the most used attribute in Synthesis of us Demon Kings are our own.

If you let the other party use it freely, the kinds of demons on your hand might get exposed.

「I hope that you keep that in mind. A Demon King is always aiming at other Demon Kings’ medals– Thus, I hope your understanding increased once again about your quite broken medal. Now then, I wonder why was【Human]instead of【Creation]added to the imitation’s entry.」

A complete change from her previous tone with a feeling of tension, March mutters in an amazed tone.

「When using your【Creation]medal, you can create an imitation of not【Creation]itself, but instead that of the result of what you desire to use during the synthesis process. Other Demon Kings have a hard time obtaining original medals through stealing or by making transactions, while they are honestly increasing their repertory, you can steadily increase your repertory on your own every time you synthesise.」

「By the way, I certainly changed【Creation]into【Human]when I made Tenko. I agree with you.【Creation]has a limitation that its attribute can change only once and never again, it seems like it corresponds to that. It’s troublesome that the【Human]attribute I used, cannot be used anymore.」

My creation medal is like so.

『【Creation]Medal. Rank A. It can be used to synthesise with two medals other than【Creation](including the original) to create a demon. The manufacturer can change the attribute of the medal to what he desires and use it for synthesis. Also, from an innumerable possibility, there is the likelihood that what you desire will be picked.

※ You can change the attribute once and never again』

「Bear in mind that it’s very enviable and can urge others to kill. Have you thought about how much troubles we Demon Kings go through to obtain other Demon Kings’ medals?」

March’s eyes aren’t laughing.

「Fufufu, Tenko’s Otou-san is amazing!」
